| ‘Radicalized’ Frenchman held after flying to Morocco with knives in baggage |
| 2016-03-10 |
[AnNahar] A Frenchie described as "radicalized" was locked away... anything you say can and will be used against you, whether you say it or not... in Morocco after arriving on a Ryanair flight with knives and a gas bottle in his luggage, a local government official said on Wednesday . The 31-year-old man, who had previously been under house arrest in La Belle France, was held upon arrival in Fez on Sunday, where authorities discovered the items, as well as a black balaclava, in his luggage. He flew there with the low-cost airline from Nantes in western La Belle France, despite heightened security following an Islamic State ...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allaharound with every other sentence, but to hear the pols talk they're not reallyMoslems.... group attack on Gay Paree in November that left 130 people dead. Local government officials identified him as Manuel Broustail, a former soldier who converted to Islam. He was arrested in November after the attacks and sent to his room. The municipality of the Loire-Atlantique region said Broustail was no longer under house arrest when he checked into the flight, and there was no reason to stop him leaving La Belle France. According to photos published in Moroccan media, Broustail's luggage appeared to contain at least four kitchen knives, a machete, two pocket knives, a truncheon, a balaclava and gas bottle. The municipality said La Belle France had signaled the man's presence to the Moroccan authorities and that his arrest in Fez "was not a matter of chance". The Dublin-based carrier Ryanair told AFP the case was "the responsibility of Nantes airport security officials who are investigating". The municipality said Broustail's hand luggage had contained nothing out of the ordinary, and his checked baggage had not raised alarm bells when passing through electronic detectors as it did not contain explosives. A source close to the investigation said Broustail had moved to Morocco with his wife last year and had returned to La Belle France to sell his apartment. |
